What is the GCF of 12, 18 and 60?

What's the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 12, 18 and 60?

Answer

GCF of 12, 18 and 60 is

6

Common factors: 1, 2, 3, 6

6 divides all three: 12 ÷ 6 = 2, 18 ÷ 6 = 3, 60 ÷ 6 = 10 — and 2, 3 and 10 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no larger number divides all three.

12 = 2² × 3

18 = 2 × 3²

60 = 2² × 3 × 5

Prime	12	18	60	Lowest power
2	2²	2	2²	2
3	3	3²	3	3
5	—	—	5	—

— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number, so it cannot be in the GCF.

GCF = 2 × 3 = 6
